He's in One Piece, but he's also part of the Phantom Troupe.

Chapter 57 No one understands revolution better than me

Bartolomeo's attack grew larger and larger in front of Phinks.

The opponent's large, sharp teeth protruded, revealing a confident smile.

Little did they know... this was the moment Phinks had been waiting for!

The Barrier-Barrier Fruit's defensive power is indeed astonishing; even my twenty rounds of Heavenly Reincarnation couldn't shatter it...

But... having already learned about the other party's abilities from Kuroro, how could he just throw a straight punch like that!

His left hand, which had been behind his back, slowly extended, and on his fist was a small Heavenly Reversal Device generated by rotating his wrist.

"boom--"

The barrier impact slammed into Phinks' face first, sending him flying off the ground, blood splattering across his face.

However, because the Barrier Fruit's power is all about defense, its offensive capabilities are severely lacking, and this attack failed to stun Phinks.

And... because of the attack, Bartolomeo's hands, which had been tightly crossed... finally separated!

"Now—"

Phinks kept in mind Chrollo's famous saying: Every ability has its weakness.

As long as you seize this weakness, you can defeat even the most powerful opponent!

"Your weakness has been revealed—"

Phinks' face slowly returned to normal amidst Bartolomeo's horrified expression, a defiant glint in his eyes.

The left fist, wreathed in golden light, slashed upwards in an instant—

A powerful uppercut landed precisely on Bartolomeo's chin.

"boom--"

This powerful strike sent Bartolomeo flying into the air with a burst of golden light.

It spun a few times in the air before landing with a thud.

Bartolomeo was seeing stars and foaming at the mouth; he had clearly fainted.

"Hey—cough cough..."

Phinks wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a slow, arrogant smile spread across his face.

"Hunting... Success!"

Phinks staggered slowly to the side of the unconscious Barto, looking down at him.

"Next time, remember not to easily reveal your abilities to the other person, oh right~"

There won't be a next time...

Uvogin and the others were about to step forward and carry the prey they had just finished hunting.

Just then, applause broke out from the corner.

"Slap... slap... slap..."

"Who?"

Uvogin and the others instantly became extremely wary, surrounding Phinks in the middle and scanning the corner with vigilant eyes.

Although the three were focused on Phinks's battle with his opponent, their senses were extremely sharp.

For such a long time, they didn't notice anything in the corner.

When did he arrive?!

The three of them were filled with questions.

"Relax a little." The man in the corner slowly emerged from the shadows, removing the dark green cloak he had been wearing.

His face was weathered and resolute, with a dark red tattoo on his right cheek.

"Who are you?" Nobunaga asked, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it at any moment.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not your enemy. On the contrary, I guess you're looking for me..."

A meaningful expression appeared on the man's face.

..........

"Beep...beep...beep—"

"Moshi moshi." Kuroro picked up the phone.

"Hey, Commander, we've caught that man with the green hair," Nobunaga reported.

"Great, bring him to see me."

"Um, there's a situation here..." Nobunaga turned to look at the man standing in the shadows.

"There's a strange man at the scene who says he wants to see you..."

"Oh?" Kuroro's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there to find you..."

After hanging up the phone, Kuroro's lips curled into a slight smile; the fish had taken the bait itself.

Follow the location sensed by the compass on your arm.

Kuroro arrived in front of a Central European-style church.

After the nun opened the door and saw Kuroro and Bonney, she nodded to the people inside, and then the door slowly opened.

Uvogin and his three companions, along with the intelligence team led by Chrollo, were all brought here and are now scattered in various corners of the room.

Upon seeing Kuroro appear, they all gathered behind him.

Kuroro looked up and finally saw one of the purposes of his trip...

Monkey D. Dragon, Luffy's father, is known as "the most mysterious criminal in the world of One Piece."

The dragon slowly approached Kuroro, first bending slightly and gently patting Bonney's head in greeting:

"How have you been these past two years, Bonnie-chan~"

"Thanks to Mr. Long, you're doing quite well~" Bonnie nuzzled against him affectionately.

"I heard you joined a pirate crew. If there have been any unpleasant experiences, tell me and I'll stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, Bonnie seemed to have suddenly found her pillar of support, and then looked at Kuroro with a defiant gaze.

After receiving a fierce glare from Kuroro, it lowered its head again, looking pitiful.

"Hahaha~" Looking at this scene, a long-lost smile appeared on the dragon's face.

"Looks like our Bonnie is doing pretty well~"

He then straightened up and looked at Kuroro with a calm gaze.

"I heard that a pirate crew with a total bounty of over one billion has appeared in the East Blue. They're really something!"

"So you're the captain of the Phantom Pirates...?"

"Indeed, I am Kuroro." Kuroro replied with a smile.

"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose in luring me out like this?" Long asked casually.

Seeing his obviously nonchalant expression, Kuroro revealed a sly smile.

"I originally came to discuss a deal with Mr. Long, but now..."

"I have some suggestions about the revolution to give to Mr. Long~"

"Oh?" Long raised an eyebrow, a hint of inquiry on his face:

"You're going to give me advice on revolution? This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say that to me..."

Kuroro nodded with a determined look.

"Mr. Dragon, you formed the Revolutionary Army to resist the atrocities of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, with the intention of changing the world."

"This starting point is excellent, but haven't you noticed... that despite your years of effort, the world hasn't changed in the slightest..."

The Celestial Dragons still loom over everyone, and annihilation events like Ohara continue to occur.

Kuroro raised his head and looked at the dragon with a meaningful gaze:

"If you ask me... Mr. Long, you... haven't grasped the very foundation of revolution at all!"

"The foundation of revolution..." Long repeated.

Only then did he become truly interested, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"Is it a weapon?"

Kuroro shook his head.

"Is it an idea?"

Kuroro shook his head again.

Kuroro straightened his expression.

"The foundation of revolution...is the people—"

A flash of thunder streaked across the sky overhead.

In that instant, Long Sha felt as if he had been enlightened... his face showed an expression of utter shock.

Kuroro watched this scene with a slight smile on his lips.

As a successor born and raised on that land...

No one understands revolution better than me!
